August 2009 - International Press Release:
Intercontinental syndicated radio broadcast to feature Classical artist Wilhelm Pfeiffer
26 September 2009 will see 2 Internet radio stations on 2 continents team up for a syndicated broadcast of Classical artists Wilhelm Pfeiffer & Larissa Swarovsky’s live performance recording of rare Haydn and Mozart arias and art songs.
Though technology for simultaneous syndicated broadcasting across a number of Internet radio stations worldwide is not an issue these days, so far stations have not been seizing the opportunity of launching intercontinental syndicated programming.
The broadcast will air on Radio AustroWelle from Vienna, Austria on http://www.austrowelle.at/stream.m3u 26 September 2009, 8pm CET (20:00 Uhr),
and on Studio 4D from New York, USA on http://www.live365.com/stations/galoppe?play&site=live365 26 September 2009, 2pm EST.

About:
Radio AustroWelle was established in January 2009 and puts the focus on the broad (but often lesser known) range of Austrian music across all genres, from popular music sung in local Austrian dialects (in German called “Austropop”) to alternative pop/rock, blues to jazz, and also classical music.
Since there is fierce discussion and complaining going on in Austria about rapidly decreasing airplay for Austrian music and artists over the last decade, the founder of AustroWelle decided on setting up an internet radio station to counteract the thus-evolving depressing lack of self-confidence in both the radio and music scenes in Austria.
Supported by a handful of really good friends in also falling back on their years of experience in producing free alternative radio, many contacts to Austrian musicians have already been established; these musicians have now joined in the effort of taking the project further. Given the complex legal situation in Austria when it comes to broadcasting licenses, a lot of future plans (especially airing the program also on terrestrial frequencies) are still in development, but ongoing interest in the radio station (by both listeners and artists) indicates that the project is the right answer at the right time.
The next step to be taken in programme development will be regular on-stage sessions with direct broadcasts open to the public starting mid-September 2009 live from a Club Café located in Vienna’s 12th district (near world-famous “Schönbrunn Palace” and well-known club “U4″).
Programmes:
Radio AustroWelle currently hosts three regular radio shows.
* “15 Minutes”: Austrian newcomers and fresh Austrian music presented in an ultra-compressed and (from the listener’s point of view) time-inexpensive way.
* “Keepin’ Da Funk Alive”: Austrian funky tunes presented and commented monthly by Walter Wagenleithner from Austrian band “Loop Doctors”.
* “In Österreich” (”In Austria”): AustroWelle’s head of music programming Manfred Kornherr talks to both newcomers and well-known musicians, Austrian music biz people (eg, lyricists, managers…) about their careers and plans, their latest releases and their personal points of view (talk program in German, partly Austrian dialect language).
